He also noted that Fortune's strategy is to invest in and grow its current brands, rather than purchase new brands. "Our company's best returns always come from organic growth," he said.

Finally, Carbonari discussed Fortune's exposure to the golf business. He said golf is growing both domestically and internationally and his company is positioned to grow with it.

Cramer agreed with his comments and recommended the stock on any positive news from the housing market.

Am I Diversified?

Cramer talked with callers to see if their portfolios have what it takes. The first caller's portfolio included Honeywell HON, Covanta CVA, Temple-Inland TIN, Schering-Plough SGP and Coeur d'Alene Mines CDE.

Cramer blessed this portfolio as diversified.

The second caller's top holdings included Procter-Gamble PG, Johnson & Johnson JNJ, Time Warner TWX, Cummins CMI and Clorox CLX.

The final caller's portfolio had AT&T T, Bank of America BAC, Transocean RIG, Corning GLW and Disney DIS as his top stocks.

Cramer liked JP Morgan JPM more than Bank of America, but called the portfolio "well played."
